The article comprises a research-based literature review, upon which expert interviews were conducted. The aim was to investigate whether there are issues concerning aging prisoners in Estonia, particularly with the increasing proportion, and to explore existing solutions for the elderly in detention facilities implemented elsewhere in the world. Throughout the research, a comprehensive overview of Estonian prisons in recent years was obtained, including changes in the age composition of inmates. The article is based on the authors’ 2022 study titled „Elderly Prisoners in Estonia“, which was completed as part of their research work at The Estonian Academy of Security Sciences.</i> <br><br> Keywords: elderly inmates; prison
